>Description:

	if a ".profile" contains "export VAR=value" lines,
        aliases are lost from the file in the ENV variable
        when logging into a 2.2.7 system.

>How-To-Repeat:

	IN A USER DIRECTORY:

        (the alias "a" will not function unless
        export TERM=cons25 -> TERM=cons25; export TERM)

        #!/bin/sh
        echo ~/.profile
        export TERM=cons25
        ENV=~/.shinit; export ENV
        echo

        #!/bin/sh
        #echo ~/.shinit
        a="alias|sort|more"
        q="cd /home/user; ls"

>Fix:
	
	unknown
